The meeting at Eamont Bridge near Penrith in 927 represented the widest acknowledged English overlordship of the early medieval period. All the major rulers north of the Humber submitted to Athelstan, who required them to renounce paganism and end protection of invaders. The Chronicle records Hywel Dda, Ealdred of Bamburgh, and others were present. This was the political culmination of the reconquest, though Brunanburh ten years later would be needed to confirm it militarily.
